ADVENTURES IN WRITING! Operating from Northern Indiana, this blog will cover aspects of culture with a bent on humor and the relentless belittling of the mainstream media, politics, and the syphilitic GOP (both major parties). News analysis happens. Put on your adult diapers, this gwine'-a'-be a bourgeois hoot. Some much needed hilarity for working class North Americans and international readers. I'm the part of this human world that bites back. Let's roll.

Warner Brothers are still dragging their feet on releasing this film to DVD. Here's a link to a petition (now at 462 as of this writing). It's like suppressing Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, because The Devils is an important-part of Western cinema, and probably one of the most-important political films ever made. BFI has listed it as one of the most-important British films ever made. Why isn't it available? I would wager it's the institutional-memory at Warners. They're mad that Russell got-away with making it, and other movies, that irritate authoritarian-types. There are a couple renegade-versions of this film available on the internet--searches will take you to them without much effort. You've never seen anything like it.Maybe they can release it when Blu-Ray is obsolete (it'll be a hologram, but it won't matter by then).Petition to Barner Wrothers to re-release Ken Russell's The Devils Uncut: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?Grandier
